Every dog deserves a chance to see their full potential realized. I am grateful to be apart of this boy's journey
This is what sunday fun looks like to a dog trainer 😁

Client shout out: Meet Lolo, a beautiful 4mo old belgian malinios all the way from California! He and his dedicated mama Sharon Estrada have been doing virtual sessions to address his dog & people reactivity, a lack of confidence and building nice obedience. Confidence can be built in so many ways and this is a fun and easy way to not only build confidence, but to build your bond & trust with your puppy/dog. From touching novel objects and surfaces, to climbing on different structures, to allowing them to observe the goings-on in different environments, all of these small exercises serve a greater purpose. If you see your dog getting nervous about anything, that is a confidence building opportunity! Shifting perspective from seeing triggers to training opportunities is the most powerful change you can make for both you and your dog's journey together! Good work Sharon & Lolo!

The power of timing, marking, movement, leash pops and rewards makes all the difference with our little modification on the 'engage-disengage' game. Here we are teaching Buck to look at a trigger, i will mark the behavior with his pre-conditioned marker (chip), move, pop, reward. We start at a distance that isnt putting him over threshold immediately once we've established where that line is for him, then make our way towards the trigger. As we progress, i will start asking him to look at a trigger longer and longer. As he starts relaxing i will build in the 3 Ds, distance, duration and distractions. Stay tuned while we go through Buck's rehabilitation ❤️

Why do we choose to e-collar train some dogs? Just in case. Freedom, safety, living our best lives. Find out more on the topic tomorrow at our local 'Meet The Trainers' event being hosted by Cheryl King of Let's Talk Dog! Looking forward to seeing you all there 😁
Does your dog show aggression while having his nails cut? Are you anxious about clipping your dog's nails? Scratch board training your dog to file his nails will reduce the stress to both you and your dog and ensure that they still get their nails done. In the mean time we are counter-conditioning Loki back to a dremel for the long term goal of being able to do his nails manually without the risk and stress of being bit.

Have you ever been taken out going down a flight of stairs or had your dog jump out of your car into a dangerous area? Is your dog rushing out of the door and dragging you along with them? Teaching our dogs the concept of 'thresholds' will prevent all of those things from happening. Thresholds apply to every gate, doorway, vehicle doors, meal time, etc. When we build this training into everyday life, you get a dog with solid impulse control, engagement with the handler, learning to wait for their release command in all areas of life, safety, shall i go on? Being consistent throughout their life will create a dog who is conditioned to this behavior and just does it automatically. Like any other command, it needs to be reinforced and practiced as part of your every day routine.
🐾Training is a lifestyle, not a one time activity!

Why do we muzzle train our dogs? Just. In. Case. When dogs get injured, even the friendliest dog has the potential to bite, some dogs are obsessive scavengers and wear muzzles to prevent them from practicing that self-rewarding behavior (although we train it a different way), some dogs are required to wear a muzzle at the vet, some are required by law, some are a bite risk, in an accident emergency responders require your dog to be muzzled. I train for the 'what ifs', i want to have that option available to me in the event that my dog needs to be muzzled. Much like crate training, there are some times that it may be called upon, so setting them up for success will reduce any stress if they do have to wear a muzzle.
This model is the Leerburg polymer coated wire basket muzzle, it provides appropriate pant room, a perfect fit with the amount of sizing options very specific to your dog's measurements, it is bite proof, the nose pad prevents any rubbing and is overall the best option for a wide variety of situations.
